Curious, have you tried pass / passwordstore?
What’s your experience?

Also great for other machine secrets. I used to manage these in Bitwarden, but opening a UI for small tasks felt tedious, and their CLI never really clicked.

Nice to have as an additional option. I think I’ll mostly rely on it for now

Works amazingly with direnv. I can declare in my .envrc which passwords a project needs, and pass loads them dynamically. Very smooth.

For 1 machine: Docker Compose.
For simple multi node setups: Swarm Mode.
For complex, dynamic scaling: Kubernetes

Check out docker swarm mode here:
docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/

Just tried Docker Swarm Mode. Much easier. Feels stable. Compose integration makes the workflow smooth

2/
Kubernetes is powerful, but heavy. Learning curve is steep, managing resources gets complicated fast, debugging is painful.

I used Docker Swarm back when it is now called "legacy". Compose compatibility was nice, but it felt unstable and volume support was lacking

For now I am still running MinIO. But once RustFS is ready for production, I will likely switch.

It deserves more visibility. If you are curious about alternatives to MinIO, give RustFS a try and share your experience.

I tested it locally. Even though it is not production ready, I was impressed.
Options are easier to manage, monitoring is built-in, and Prometheus/Grafana ship out of the box. And most importantly user management is simple again.

I found RustFS.
github.com/rustfs/rustfs

It looked solid from the start. Benchmarks suggested it could even outperform MinIO. And with full S3 compliance, things that failed with MinIO suddenly just worked.

2/
But a recent MinIO update took away a lot of convenience.
No user management in the UI. No access key handling. No simple metrics.

That is when I went looking for alternatives.

2/
This time I took the time to read the docs properly—super clean abstraction.
Trainer class, built-in logging, multi-GPU, checkpointing, mixed precision—makes a lot of things smoother.

Starting a small side project with it. Curious how it’ll go! #PyTorchLightning #DeepLearning

But what really impressed me is their lifetime storage offer. One-time payment, WebDAV, VPN, and more
